By Air

Major airports around El-Shrouk city
Cairo International Airport, about 20 km northwest of Cairo, is the most convenient air travel. It takes less than 30 minutes to get from there by car. However, traffic in Cairo is sometimes very bad and the ride could take a bit longer during rush hours.
Please book your flight as early as possible. March is a very busy air travel month due to tourism trips.
We recommend that you arrive by March 9th - you don't want to miss the reception!

Transportation from the Airport
We recommend that you use the airport limosines to get to the downtown hotels. It is not expensive and it is very convenient. Other means of transportation, such as taxis and buses, are available but they are not convenient.
We also recommend that you contact the following travel agency for Meet and Assist services:

By Car

Most major car rental agencies are active in the airport. However, we do not recommend that you drive by yourself in Cairo since it is one of the most crowded cities in the world. Drivers nor pedestrians respect the traffic rules.

BUE Transportation

The BUE will provide transportation from and to selected hotels. Schedules and other information will be available in the symposium booklet
